Bitter gourd and Amla juice for Mainting Sugar Levels
Can have hot onion and amla juice in the morning.
Just mix 1 spoonful of amla water with 1 glass of hot water and drink it.
It has two advantages:
• Bitter worm or karela contains hypoglycemic or insulin-like principles, also known as plant insulin, which helps lower blood sugar and urine.
• Amla is high in vitamin C and is known to help stimulate the islets of Langerhans, an isolated group of cells in the pancreas that secrete the hormone insulin and keep blood sugar levels stable.
Flaxseed Breakfast Smoothie
Flaxseeds contain alpha-linolenic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, and phytoestrogens called lignans—substances that are important for reducing inflammation in the body.
Add a liberal tablespoon of flaxseed to your breakfast, a probiotic made with apricots—for some good bacteria—for a double dose of gun-fighting.
After all, a large part of our immune system is in our digestive tract.
Daily probiotics can help restore the natural state of our diet’s health that has been destroyed by excess sugar, meat, processed foods, and prescription drugs.

Soft spinach Smoothie
Make juice or juice from tender spinach leaves and strain in the evening.
Spinach contains a small amount of vanadium, a microorganism that helps increase or maintain enzyme activity in the body, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable.
Jamun Sherbet
Alternatively, you can choose jamun sherbet.
This low-fat fruit contains vitamin C and other antioxidants, which can stimulate the production of white blood cells and improve our immunity. Drink a glass every day during the fruit season.
Green tea
Apart from spinach milk and jamun sherbet, you can drink a cup of green tea.
Green tea is full of antioxidants and flavonoids that fight harmful bacteria. Tea is also a great relaxation tool, and relaxation is one of the best ways to prevent a cold.
Indian Home remedies: Haldi Doodh for Mainting Sugar Levels
Is there anything this golden drink can not do? This is not what it seems.
So just heat the milk, add a strong puree and a pinch of pepper. Or just boil haldi kachi (raw) and root clippings, sprinkle some pepper and drink it at night before going to sleep.
If milk isn’t working for you, add ginger and peppermint (two powerful infection fighters) to your morning tea and start your day off right.
Drink warm milk with turmeric and black pepper at night. Here’s why it works:
- Turmeric is a strong cold and flu fighter and has antiviral and antioxidant properties that help the body fight viral infections.
- Helps reduce inflammation to keep your blood sugar levels under control.
- In addition, black pepper is a rich source of vanadium.
- Milk (actually most dairy products except cheese and butter) is difficult to find vanadium.
